Bear Invades House, Steals Teddy Bear

(July 29) -- Separated at birth? On Tuesday, a black bear entered a house in Laconia, N.H., munched on some pears and grapes left on a kitchen counter, and drank some water (plus a few fish) from a fishbowl before picking up a stuffed teddy bear.

Twice-Mauled Grizzly Photographer Still Loves His Subject

(June 8) -- Jim Cole knew he had to get up and get moving. After unknowingly stepping on a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park in May 2007, Cole was knocked down and mauled by the mother bear. Bloodied and severely injured, though he didn't know how badly at the time, Cole had to flee to survive. "I just knew I had to get right up off the turf," the photographer, who has studied grizzlies for many years, recalled in an interview on NBC's "Today" show this morning.
